Make Your Own Coloring Books

At some point it becomes clear that you won't be able to save every drawing your child creates. But trashing it just seems wrong, so instead give your kids' drawings a second life.

At the end of the day gather up several pages of your kid's artwork and create mini coloring books. Bind pages together by sewing down the middle; otherwise, staples will do. Keep a stash of these homemade coloring books for your next restaurant outing. The little ones will be thrilled to see coloring books featuring their very own artwork.
